king granted to him by charter the aforesaid manor, which belonged to
Robert de Holand, who was charged with adhering to the said earl and to
other enemies and rebels of the late king, wherefore he [Robert] rendered
himself to the late king's will, and that the manor was in the late king's
hands at his will for this reason, to have and to hold to Simon for life of the
said king and of the chief lords of the fee by the services whereby the manor
was held before it came to the said king's hands, so that after Simon's death
it ought to revert to the said king and to his heirs, which charter Simon
there offered, asserting that he ought not to answer to Robert son of Robert
without consulting the king, by reason whereof the justices have hitherto
superseded proceeding in the suit, and the said Robert son of Robert has
besought the king to cause justice to be done to him in the premises: the

aforesaid notwithstanding the charter or allegation aforesaid. By C. |
